chapter thirty four

he closed his eyes and then tears flowed

"father in law, if you don't love Nick that's your problem, but leave him alone, the next time you say things about my son I will forget you

are my husband's father." his mom said and left there angry and his father followed

he was grateful for his parents, they will always stand by him,

"they're really stupid, one-day she will realize who that child really is, they think he's a blessing but infact he's cursed, one day she will realize that he's not her child when his traits becomes opposites of hers, at least he is my son's blood but her they're just strangers" his grandpa said to his companion and they also left.

Nick was quite, he was finding it difficult to breathe just then Joan's hand touched his, he raised his head and saw Joan

thank goodness, you came Joan, he said in his mind, he pulled Joan down and hugged her,

a while after the hug, Joan asked

"Nick Why are you out here and crying"

he couldn't answer her, he tried to make up an excuse but he couldn't think of any, just then he hissed again and then he realized his hand, yes that was the perfect excuse.

he got up wiped his tears and said

"my hand hurts, I didn't want them to see me crying. you know I am a grown up now so I can't let them see me crying that will be embarrassing"

Joan looked at him and he smiled, she didn't know why but she knew Nick doesn't cry unless it must have been really painful

"I am sorry, it's all my fault," she said almost crying

he wiped her face with his ok hand and said

"don't blame yourself, it was nobody's fault"

although he said that, the truth was seeing the scratch on Joan he blamed himself for it, he should have been careful, his grandpa was right his love was a curse and what if Joan was seriously hurt? he couldn't deal with it.

he head to his room and his parents came there, after a while Joan left. the doctor came to check his injured hand and told him not to do any tedious work with it and should be careful with it to make it heal faster
